HP's Greatest Hits

As we bid farewell to HP as we know it, we take a look back at some of the veteran PC maker’s highest-rated products.

HP has made clear this week that it has every intention of getting itself out of the consumer electronics market. It's killed its webOS products, which included the TouchPad and various cell phones, like the Veer and the not-yet-released Pre 3. HP also acquired software maker Autonomy for $10.2 billion, and plans to spin off its PC business. In one fell swoop, HP went from being one of the world's largest manufacturers of consumer electronics to a company with a clear focus on business and software, with barely even a passing interest in the consumer side of things.

Such a shift is surprising, because HP has a long track record of making excellent consumer products, from desktops and laptops to printers and even tablets. There's a reason, after all, that the company has led the industry in global market share four years in a row, owning as much as 19.3 percent of the global PC market. HP's been the recipient of numerous Editors' Choice awards from PCMag, and even the TouchPad, killed after all of 48 days, had real potential to be great. HP's future making these products is unknown: HP says it is "exploring options" and that little is final, but the writing is on the wall for its consumer business. If HP really does get out of the consumer game, it's a serious loss to buyers.

We've rounded up 10 of the best products HP has made over the last few years, as we wait to see the future of these products and the company that made them.
